Glass Doctor National Conference Draws Record Audience in Houston

Glass Doctor, one of the nation's fastest-growing auto, home and business glass replacement franchises, recently held its national conference in Houston and attracted vendors and 54 franchisees from across the nation.

"It was a great turnout," said Robert Tunmire, president of Glass Doctor. "Each year as our Franchise network grows, so does the attendance at our national conference."

The conference was hosted March 17-19 at Houston's Warwick Hotel and contained advanced training sessions for franchise owners. Tim Smale, president of Independent Glass Association, was the keynote speaker.

It was also the first year Glass Doctor invited vendors to exhibit, and 18 companies took the opportunity to show off their products and services.

"That's the great advantage of franchising," Tunmire said. "Glass Doctor's group buying power results in wonderful relationships with leading manufacturers and suppliers in our industry."
